The crowd of martial artists couldn't help but slow down when they saw Wang Chong's gaze, and they did not dare meet his eyes.

A martial artist took two steps forward and exhorted the crowd, ”What are you doing? This is an evil path disciple, and the disciple of the Demonic Emperor! Since ancient times, righteous and evil have never stood on the same side, but are you now thinking about engaging in a reasoned argument with members of the evil path? Everyone, join me and kill him! If someone in the martial arts world learns that we killed the Demonic Emperor and his disciple, we'll be famous!”

Another person stepped forward and agreed, ”Brother Gu is right. Those of the evil path must all be punished! Everyone, together!”

”Stop!”

Before they could attack, a martial artist of seemingly considerable strength lost patience and stepped forward to block their path.

”Whether one is righteous or evil, and regardless of what sect one belongs to, one at least must know the difference between kindness and grudges. This young master has done us a kindness, but we would point our weapons at him. This makes us even worse than beasts.”

”Brother Lu is right! After receiving a person's kindness, how can we return it with hatred? If anyone dares to strike this young master, I, Zhao Qi, will be the first to object!”

”That's right! A true man knows the difference between kindness and grudges. If you want to act against this young master, come and talk to me first!”

”Gu Tong, you and your fellows are acting just a little too shameless. Even I can't bear to watch something like this. I truly feel ashamed to even be associated with you!”

”Get out of here!”

With one person stepping forward, more and more people began to pile on and stand in front of the group of aggressors.

”You're… you're all crazy!”

”You're protecting a member of the evil path! This is absurd!”

Seeing so many people coming forward to protect Wang Chong, Gu Tong and his group paled, even panicked. It was obvious that they had not predicted this development.

Interesting.

Wang Chong had already prepared to strike back, so these developments had taken him by surprise as well.

But Wang Chong did not stick around to argue with them. As Gu Tong and his group were being surrounded, Wang Chong leapt away, using this chance while everyone was distracted to vanish into another cave.

I have to find a place where I can properly rest! Wang Chong said to himself as he ran.

His fight with the Nightmare Beast had given much to Wang Chong, but there was no avoiding the consumption of Stellar Energy. He needed to find a place where he could sort out his body's condition.

There were no interruptions this time. Around five minutes later, Wang Chong had recovered and got back up to go elsewhere. As he began to move, tendrils of Psychic Energy began to spread through the cave.

In this battle, Wang Chong's greatest harvest was his boost in Psychic Energy. Originally, whenever Wang Chong sent out his Psychic Energy, it would immediately be repulsed by the Psychic Seal in the caves, but now that his Psychic Energy had become tangible and gotten much stronger, he could finally use it to probe the cave.

Although he couldn't use it as freely as he did on the surface and the range was restricted to one thousand meters, this was immense progress for Wang Chong.

Buzz!

Wherever Wang Chong's Psychic Energy went, the layout of the complicated cave network was reflected in his mind. Paired with the sound waves, Wang Chong rapidly increased his understanding of the cave network.

A few moments later, Wang Chong had vanished into the caves.

……

Meanwhile, more than sixteen thousand meters above, on the surface, Wang Chong's killing of the Nightmare Beast had caused turmoil amongst the Origin Immortal Treasury guardians.

”Milord, it's bad! The Nightmare Beast has been killed!” one of the Origin Immortal Guardians said.

”What?”

Everyone was stunned by these words and immediately reacted with disbelief.

”Impossible! The Nightmare Beast's Psychic Energy was simply enormous. No martial artist could compare. And it's skilled in constructing dreams. Not even we dare to recklessly go down there!”

”That's right! The Nightmare Beast was a powerful creature from the Yellow Emperor's era. Not even the Yellow Emperor could kill it, much less anyone else. We used the Dragonbeasts and Stellar-Piercing Beetles to drive all of them to the Nightmare Beast's nest precisely because we wanted to use its power to kill everyone in a single move. How is it that the Nightmare Beast was the one that ended up being killed? Absurd!”

”You didn't make some sort of mistake?”

Everyone questioned the veracity of this news.

There were many monsters and traps within the Origin Immortal Treasury, some of which not even they dared to approach. But of all the monsters and traps, the Nightmare Beast was the most terrifying.
